Sean,

We did a straight upgrade of an NT box to Win2K (some time ago) that held an Oracle 8.1.6 database.. The database was fine after the upgrade.. What is the choice for recreating rather than upgrading?

Oracle uses the registry also to register some staff in other places except the oracle entry.
Oracle also use c:\program files\oracle for some stuff (install log etc.).

Why do not upgrade the machine without recreating C partition. (I know that upgrade is more work then ghosting a new C drive).

We have an 8.1.7 SE database on a server which is currently NT4 SP6. The System Admin group wish to upgrade the server to W2K and propose doing so by recreating the C: partitition. Our Oracle software resides on E: (same physical disk) and database files on other disks/partitions. Are there any implications for the Oracle software and database for this upgrade. Are there any steps I need to take pre or post OS upgrade?. In particular I'm wondering about implications for the registry. Any advice/help would be appreciated.
